Tap Settings from the Home screen.

Tap Accounts and Passwords.

Tap Add Account…

Select your email provider from the given options. Among the choices available are iCloud, Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, AOL, Outlook, and Other. Select other if your account is not in the prior list and that you want to add it manually.

Hints:

In case you don’t know your mail settings, contact your email service provider to verify what information to enter in the server settings. Or you may also use the email lookup tool or Mail Settings Lookup from the Apple support page.

Enter your email account details including email address (complete), password, and any other requested information then tap Next to continue.

You may opt to sync other options such as Contacts and Calendars in the email setup.

Tap Save when you are done.

When the email account is setup, you will be routed to your Inbox if this is the only email account you’ve set up on the phone. Then you can start checking and responding to emails on your new iPhone whenever you want.

If you have set up multiple email accounts, you need to select a default email account to use. Here’s how:

Tap Default Account.

Then select the email account you want to set as default.

If you are using a corporate email and your corporate server requires remove security administration, you will be prompted to set up security features.

Tap Continue.

Your email is now set up. To view your inbox, just launch the Mail app from the Home screen.

How to manually set up or add email accounts on your iPhone 8 Plus?

Tap Settings from Home.

Tap Accounts & Passwords.

Select IMAP or POP3 for your new account. Contact your email provider if you are not sure of which one to choose.

If your email settings are correct, tap Save to finish. Otherwise, you’ll be asked to edit them. Contact your email account for further assistance in case you’re having trouble with the email account setup especially with the server settings.
